PMP Exam ECO Tasks | PMBOK 7th Edition
Perfect 👍 — let’s now map the PMP Exam Content Outline (ECO) tasks with task numbers to the PMBOK 7th Edition.
⚡ Remember:
-
PMBOK 6th → process-based (Knowledge Areas, ITTOs).
-
PMBOK 7th → principle- & outcome-based (12 Principles, 8 Performance Domains).
So instead of “process references,” in 7th we map each ECO task to Principles and Performance Domains.
